Söt potatis cornbread

👩‍🍳 Gör så här

1. 1
   Pierce 1¼ lb. sweet potatoes in several places. Microwave on high until tender, turning once, about 12 minutes. Cut open and cool. (Alternatively, follow our easy method for Baked Sweet Potatoes.)
2. 2
   Place rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 9" square baking pan or 10" cast-iron skillet. Mash enough sweet potatoes to yield 1 cup packed (reserve remaining potatoes for another use). Place 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes in large bowl. Whisk in 4 large eggs and 1½ cups buttermilk.
3. 3
   Pulse 2⅓ cups (359 g) yellow cornmeal, 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (100 g) sugar, 1 Tbsp. baking powder, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt, ½ tsp. baking soda, ¼ tsp. ground ginger in food processor. Add ½ cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into ½" pieces, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. (Alternatively, whisk dry ingredients in a separate bowl to combine, then blend in butter with finger tips or a pastry cutter.) Add to sweet potato mixture and stir just until blended. Transfer cornbread batter to prepared pan.
4. 4
   Bake cornbread until deep golden on top and toothpick or other tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack. Do Ahead: Sweet potato cornbread can be baked up to 2 days ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature. Or freeze in a resealable plastic bag up to 2 months.
